Yeah, I won't fully endorse this here. It did suck, for many reasons, including what you outlined. I do feel some people are dramatic about it, though. I know people who feel the same way and will say it's because they couldn't go to Mexico for vacation. Anyway, I just couldn't help but roll my eyes at Eel when he said it.this is so fucking absurd dude
this is so fucking absurd dude100%
you started this hate on me, I believe when I went to an outdoor music festival fully vaxed and boosted (that required vaccinations!) in the second half of 2021. This was after a year and a half of isolation! No events! No getting together with friends and family! No travel or vacation!
I get that youre coming from the dual position of living in a shitty right wing area and someone that has been affected by long Covid, but you and other people ITT continually come from this position that theres no difference between people saying but the economy! in March 2020 and people saying hey 1-2 years of isolation really takes its toll on peoples mental health, not to mention childrens social development. That may not feel like a long time to single people without families that are just as happy sitting at home playing video games but it is a long ass time
i dont agree with the cdcs new guidelines, theyre obviously in service of CEOs and I still test and mask up and stay home when Im sick
but it is human nature to want things to go back to normal. Connections with other human beings is literally what most of us live for. Some of yall are treating this like some black or white thing like either youve stayed home since March 2020 or youre a MAGA nutter
anyway, it is shitty to see that topic title is apparently sarcastic when the whole situation was absolutely oppressive for everyone
Covid restrictions were necessary but man did they suck. I think the worst part were the barriers it put up between people (both physically and emotionally). Ive never felt so alone and withdrawn from my fellow man.Most people are selfish assholes who walk around as if no one outside their little bubble exists, so I don't know why they missed being around people that they pretend don't exist.

There's nothing stopping you from wearing one.Now you get weird looks. Funny how that works.
I still see the occasional person at the grocery store wearing them.
Now you get weird looks. Funny how that works.I don't get weird looks. And even if I do, who cares? I don't know that loser that would judge me.
Is this serious? I dont mean that in a snarky or sarcastic way but its just wild to me that people were completely unable to cope. There were plenty of ways to stay in contact with people during that time, and it couldve been a good way to learn how to handle new situations.
shame we don't know where it came from with all the tech we have
Wear a mask in publicYou also forgot to add the haves got to sit at home and hangout n bitch- while the have nots still had to go to work everyday. The middle and lower classes took the brunt of Covid
Don't stand too close to strangers
Get vaccines if you want them
Nothing will happen to you if you're an asshole and ignore all this
Truly we were experiencing a preview of Biden's dictatorship. Republicans said it was basically Nazi Germany or North Korea.
thankfully i lived in Tampa, the demo mayor tried to lock us down but a team of lawyers was going to slap a lawsuit on her for being unconstitutional and the very next day we were good lol. so sad for the folks that lost their businesses but never again. nobody (with a brain that is) will every lock down again. I know i won't lol.I'm sure the millions of dead will be happy that the sacrifice forced on them will keep you from having to wear fabric on your lower face.
Everyone: So there's this virus killing the world, can we please take a few measures to save countless lives?I loved that commercial.

Very serious. It took me a several months after all the restrictions were lifted to even being feeling comfortable around people again. I was really messed up.For you, it was the worst time of your life. For me it was Tuesday :P
Unless you were some kind of anti social NEET with no kids I dont understand how the lockdown could have been anything but oppressive for most people.You could also be solipsistic, a quality which I see in a fair number of people in the thread. Who cares that people lost their jobs and others outright died, at least the traffic was really fucking good for the few times one has to go out.

Ill only disagree with that part, because people legit got fired for not complying to vaccine mandates. Especially if you had a government job.Good fuck them
So to say nothing will happen is kinda disingenuous. I understand your point, but I dont necessarily agree with it.
Good f*** them
Why are some acting like Covid has been eradicated?Daddy Joe pays their month rent
I had to put myself between a large man in his early 50s and a tiny 17 year old girl at Target pretty early on. Dude was red faced rage screaming at her because she asked him to out a mask on. So I got between them, told her to go get the manager, and dude started screaming at me.
I've never wanted someone to take a swing at me as badly as I wanted him to. I wanted the excuse to fuck him up. Which probably reflects poorly on me as a person, but it is what is.
Dude was in my face screaming about tyranny and shit and said "I ought to kick your ass for getting involved". I said something to the effect of "give it a shot" but then the manager came running over with security and dude shriveled up and deflated.
what death camps? who are you asserting is going to be put into death camps and why?
Are you a high school dropout? Or just an NPC who refuses to study history because you think learning is a racist?You gonna answer his question? or
people legit got fired for not complying to vaccine mandatesDumbest part about it, was some of these people are considered intellectuals
good
Are you a high school dropout? Or just an NPC who refuses to study history because you think learning is a racist?Yes, Trump has been plagiarizing Hitler speeches, making weird threats toward Jews, and wanting to be a dictator for a while
I remember a year off work, paid. Fantastic year for me personally, even if others were sufferingSame. Work and pay was decent, great games coming out, less traffic on the roads, and less interaction with people being an introvert.
